I hate how people ask questions just to cast doubt. Massie asked about the payment for Cohen’s attorney fees when he knows that no one else is paying his lawyer fees, but by asking it it casts doubt on his answer. They’re not asking questions that they want answers to, they’re making statements to posture their position. Republicans are Fixated on how his lawyer is getting paid. (Trying to find a Democratic benefactor I’m sure) |

Meadows brought an African-American employee of Trump to "prove" he's not a racist? JFC Shh ... that was one of my Cohen Hearing bingo squares. ☺️ |

—I forget what Republican Congressmen asked about dats, and tried to trip him up by saying July
And I think I remember that Cohen had said that the Wikileaks call from Stone was June.
I’m off to hunt yo see what he said.

Amee Vanderpool..,
“Rep. Paul Gosar: "You're a pathological liar! You don't know truth from falsehood."
Michael Cohen: "Sir, I'm sorry, are you referring to me or the president?"
Did he really say that? If he did, score one for Cohen.

in the end, if Congress can't do anything about Trump and his organization, i'm sure the Southern District Court of New York will certainly try. it seems they are knee deep in investigations of Trump.

(Trying to find a Democratic benefactor I’m sure) Yes, and I hate it. It is funny that they are so fixated on the payment, seems like it would be easy to prove if he were getting paid. If he were getting paid , what would it prove? And what the eff is the matter with the Republicans that they are so protective of Trump? (Rhetorical question, but it just boggles my mind). |

Paraphrasing here, but 'will you donate any profits from book deals to charity?'
Cohen - 'No'. Love it.

I'm a few minutes behind; I'm really getting sick of the Rs continually pointing out that HE has been convicted of lying. That does NOT necessarily mean he is lying NOW. Either ask a legit question or STFU!! and they keep saying things like 'you must have wanted a job in the white house' or 'you must want XXX' ... he says "NO, I did NOT want that' and they flat-out don't believe him, or just ignore that. eta: the SECOND he said 'no...' but didn't get to finish his answer and the Republicans jump all over him-- I am SICK of these Republican representatives; we are paying for their salaries, for them to do this ridiculous posturing and bullshitting!!

All that and I'm tired of them thinking that it makes him less believable if he accepts a lesser plea/time in prison if he gives up evidence. A person would be a fool not to try and do that! |

Interesting how the Republicans yield their extra time to Jordan or now Meadows. They both turn my stomach.

Meadows and Jordan are the bulldogs in this fight for the Republicanans. Gatz (who is a close friend of Roger Stone has no business being there, and I hope that he gets censured for his tweet threat.
As to MC, during the time he supported Trump, he came off as a real asshole during interviews, defending Trump. Now seeing him in this hearing, I think that he was, at that time, fully aware that what he was doing was wrong, and and was literally gritting his teeth at his lies. I think that he is more forthcoming now, and I think that his testimony will have a big impact.
I also am impressed with some of the Democrats questions, and think that Meadows, Jordan, and there was a republican woman, and man, from both North and South Carolina that also came out as real assholes.

I wish the Rs had automatic volume control on their microphones- it's sort of like really annoying infomercials; the volume is normal, then all the sudden the Rs start YELLING at TOP LEVELS!!!  It's hurting my head to hear them YELLING AT HIM as if that makes any difference to our opinion of anything. Michael Cohen is doing WONDERFUL at keeping composed, in my opinion. |

FFS another person that has talked to DT and spent time with him and he never said a racist thing. Yeah because he's going to spew that crap to just anyone.
Oh and why did you work for him that long. And you're going to get a lucrative deal.
Seriously this is the best that republicans can come up with when they have a chance to talk to him.
Yet the one Republican gave him the gears for saying he and his lawyers were working on his opening statement yesterday.

They won't let him FULLY answer the questions they're asking (which means they really don't want to know) and it's a BIG FAT waste of time. |
